Breathless by W. Winters, Willow Winters
3.0
Please make yourself aware of the reasons this author is problematic. I will no longer be reading, sharing, or promoting any of their books.
I was recommended All He'll Ever Be, and I started reading it before realizing it was actually 4 separate books of the Merciless series. And so I want to review it as four separate pieces.
I took a star away from this one for selfish reasons. I was angry the entire book. I wanted it to end just so I could get to the next part and be less angry. (I fear that I won't be less angry though) The war that was coming, oh it definitely arrived, it full force. So much conflict. I wanted to violently shake Aria. What goes on in that selfish, naive head of hers?! I've never considered Carter a villain, he's Aria's anti-hero. But she, she is his villain. She is his undoing. And not in the romantic way either. Breathless did give me one of the hottest sex scenes I've ever read, and it wasn't even a full sex scene!
My Favorite Quotes:
•'It's all going to crumble. All because of her. I would have done anything for her.'
•"Make sure they all know she chose to stay. She chose Carter."
•'At this moment, I feel he truly hates me. And that’s what breaks me. Because no matter what he did to me, I never hated him.'
•"You’re making it impossible for us to be together."
•'My little songbird is playing the part of the queen. And what a queen she would make.'
•"I don’t want to hear you talk about the woman you love, not in that context."
•"I miss you." "I need you."
•'Before he commands me to, I raise my arms above my head and to the headboard made of thin planks.'
•"I wouldn’t be the person I am without you."
•'I know for as long as I live, I’ll remember it all.'
•"Hold him as tight as you can, or he’ll die."
